This is a fun idea.  I await the first ASCII 'sampler' eagerly.

Not quite the sme thing...

Ulichney`s book `Digital Halftoning' had an enlarged section of a 
Jacquard fabric.  The artist has made a face out of light and dark.
You can see they have faced all the same problems as we do - trying to 
get a tight pattern for halftones; trying to get a smooth gradation
between grey levels; trying to render features that don't quite fit
an integral number of pixels.

(apologies for no ascii-art - new job, new editor, new newsreader,
 new font.  Hope this message comes out OK).
